Happy Easter! We almost always celebrate Easter with at least one of our kids, but this year no one will be going anywhere. It will be just the two of us.

Sunroom Makeover
The sunroom of this repeat customer just underwent a makeover, piece by piece. A couple of years ago I slipcovered the little yellow slipper chair in the bottom right corner, along with two yellow accent pillows. Recently she had a couple of chair cushions recovered for her sunroom. They went from a faded red stripe… Continue reading Sunroom Makeover
